Victory gardens article in LA Times

Does anyone think that the article Victory gardens sprout up again by Mary MacVean in today's LA Times is any good? Seems like its a year or more late on the whole gardening trend and there's absolutely no new information in it. No new vegetables. No new seed sources. No local heirloom suppliers. Nothing. In fact, the accompanying 15 photos seem to pander to the Topanga Canyon yuppies profiled in the article and just add to the lifestyle column feel of the article.
